Prepare Image-builder Workers

Mandatory

FLOps relies on dynamically built container images. FLOps delegates and distributes this task to orchestrated worker nodes to minimize bottlenecks and optimize computational efficiency. Only nodes that have been prepared as described on this page are capable of building images for FLOps.

For FLOps to work as intended, you are required to prepare at least one of your orchestrated nodes, as described in this guide.

Optimize Image Build Times

Building images is a significant part of any FLOps project, including its runtime. Select your worker nodes wisely for building images. To speed up runtimes, prefer more powerful resource-rich machines.

Curious about FLOps’ Image Building Process?

Explore why and how container images are build in FLOps here.

On the worker nodes where you wish to do the image building, do the following:

Ensure the NodeEngine is running

  sudo NodeEngine -a <cluster-address> -d && sudo NodeEngine status

Activate the imageBuilder addon for the NodeEngine:
```
  sudo NodeEngine config addon imageBuilder on
```
Restart the NodeEngine
- Either run sudo NodeEngine stop and then start it up again
- Or run sudo systemctl restart nodeengine.service

Verify that the addon is active:

  > sudo NodeEngine config addon

  Configured Addons:
       - image-builder: 🟢 Active
